Discover more about our famed characters—the ones that adorn the venues in our heroic Melbourne and Sydney venues. Now, for the first time, you can learn of Vela's backstory as a star-mining astronaut, her life in the year 2315 (dominated by AI), and the insane journey that leads her towards her destiny as a snake-blasting, world-conquering sorceress!
LinkedIn friends! When I co-founded Fortress with Adrian Giles I was able to imagine a lot of stuff. Stuff like: "Why don't we build a giant cathedral for gamers" Or: "One day I will understand how to play Magic: The Gathering" But I never imagined I would be the creator of a comic book series. Having written the short stories to support the development of our iconic Fortress characters that theme our Taverns, clearly, the next step was to properly reveal them to the world. But how? Through comics! So after 6 months of planning, (learning how to) write comic book scripts, finding a brilliant penciler (Gardenio Lima) and colourist (Prasad), I am extremely pleased to announce the launch of our Kickstarter project to finish the project and get this story into the hands of SF/Fantasy (and Fortress) fans everywhere. I'd be most grateful if you visited the Kickstarter page (https://lnkd.in/gQSFKmHQ) and consider the fantastic Rewards we have put up to support the campaign. Oh, and here's a video we made to describe the Kickstarter. Thanks, Jon
